Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds firm white fish fillets (like cod, tilapia, or haddock), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • For the Lime Slaw:
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix is fine)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (from about 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Toppings: avocado, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the fish pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the seasoned fish in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and crispy.
  5. While the fish is cooking, prepare the lime slaw. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by warming them briefly in a dry skillet.
  7. Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with the crispy air fryer fish and top with the lime slaw.
  8. Add your favorite optional toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fish, you can lightly dredge the fish pieces in a small amount of cornstarch before seasoning.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the fish at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or pan-fry it until golden and cooked through.
